One locomotive per car and they still had troubles! I love my Pere Marquette, and I know winter is a challenge, but it’s hard not to shake your head in awe.

Live from 371... sounded like they were having issues with a charger, think 519 is the only power on now.

By the way, the consist was AMTK 519, 3 Supers, IDTX 4612, IDTX 4625.

Supposedly the chargers were just back there for testing.

Close inspection via Bang-cam shows that the 4625 doesn't even have the Amtrak Midwest logos on its sides, yet.

Q326 hit the detector at 44.1 around 11:55am with 388 axles. Haven't heard the crew call any further signals, so I assume they are either waiting or dying there for helpers? Any intel?

D700 meanwhile must have died somewhere between Bangor and Grand Junction last night, lite engine CSXT 4040. They have since proceeded to Holland, where they just "spun" themselves on the wye and have now taken a restricting at Middle Waverly - I assume for a Holland Yard pickup.
